Melvine's parents abandoned their children a few years ago. Melvine is the oldest of four. She lives under the care of her uncle. This family lives in a remote desert region, so the only farming they can do is herding goats. They typically survive with an income of less than $5 per month. Melvine lives in a one-room house made of thatched grass called a "manyatta." Sponsorship would be life-changing for her.

Your sponsorship will help this child grow up to be like Jesus by providing them with nutritious meals, clean water, new clothing, a quality education, opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities, basic medical care, and spiritual guidance from local Christian ministers, teachers and community leaders.
